Mount a Smart Card Reader

When mounted onto the target server, the card reader and smart card will cause the server to behave as if they had been directly attached.

Removal of the smart card or smart card reader will cause the user session to be locked or you will be logged out depending on how the card removal policy has been setup on the target server OS.

When the KVM session is terminated, either because it has been closed or because you switch to a new target, the smart card reader will be automatically unmounted from the target server.

• To mount a smart card reader from VKC or AKC:

1. Click the Smart Card menu and then select Smart Card Reader. Alternatively, click the Smart Card button in the toolbar.
2. Select the smart card reader from the Select Smart Card Reader dialog.
3. Click Mount.
4. A progress dialog will open. Check the 'Mount selected card reader automatically on connection to targets' checkbox to mount the smart card reader automatically the next time you connect to a target. Click OK to begin the mounting process.
